We were just informed of the recent passing of former Reverend, psychologist, and magician, John McLachlan.
Our sincere condolences to John's family and friends at this difficult time.
From the January 6th Facebook post by Matt DiSero:
Heartbroken to hear we lost John McLachlan. I haven’t seen him since I lived in the annex area of Toronto, when I’d often go over to his condo for his magic meetings and drinks. So kind and generous. When I was in grade 9 doing magic I didn’t really hang with any magicians save for Dennis Rosso here in Brampton. I’d managed to get a gig at Ruben and Wongs and John came in one night and seemed to take an interest in what I was doing with the magic. He’d often invite me to Brampton hospital where he worked as a psychologist and he’d show me old magic effects and tell me stories of the 4F magic convention, where the best magicians gathered, all tbat in his cool office in the hospital. He regularly lent me books and props and he was a real influence early on. Always supportive and seemed especially happy when I decided to do magic full time. John was one of the good guys, the best of the older crew that always liked to help out, and help me.
Man, I greatly lament not seeing him more often of recent times. A failing on my part. A reminder that we all should stay in touch with people, especially as they get older.
RIP John, and thank you for all the help and encouragement along the way, early on, when it was needed most.

Moose Jaw’s firefighters are making preparations for the upcoming 2024 Magic Variety Show, which will take place at the Mae Wilson Theatre starting at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 31.
The event is an annual tradition going back more than 20 years and proceeds from the show help support the Provincial Burn and Charity Fund on behalf of the Moose Jaw Fire Department.
The show is a family-friendly event geared toward younger children. “I’ve been to the show numerous times through volunteering and the kids just absolutely love all the magic tricks that go on,” said Cody Rosnes, a Moose Jaw firefighter who now oversees the department’s charity fund.
This year’s show will feature comedy hypnotist Corrie J, and Magic Ben, a semi-finalist on the hit television series "Canada’s Got Talent". In previous shows, performers have included Trevor and Lorena Watters, and magician Michael Dardant, who jokingly used the hashtag #NotThatMagicMike.
Support for the Provincial Burn and Charity Fund marks the fire department’s largest charitable donation each year.
